Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia is a scarring hair loss condition mainly affecting postmenopausal women, with unclear causes.

This study found a high prevalence of genital Lichen sclerosus and autoimmune comorbidities in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting a possible shared autoimmune process.

This review discusses partial longitudinal-follicular unit transplantation (PL-FUT) for hair loss and notes its potential to multiply hair follicles while preserving donor areas, but reports no new clinical results.

The LTF gene may help predict and manage nonspecific orbital inflammation.

This paper presents two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women, noting challenges in monitoring due to the invasive nature of the diagnostic process.

This case report observed no hair regrowth after treating a woman with postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia using systemic and local corticosteroids, suggesting the need for more innovative therapies.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of LncRNA RP11-818O24.3 in hair follicle stem cells promotes their proliferation, self-renewal, and differentiation while inhibiting apoptosis through the FGF2-mediated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for hair loss treatment.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This article reviews the characteristics and presentation of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a form of scarring alopecia similar to androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that facial papules and rosacea in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia were linked to a greater need for oral treatment, with most cases involving postmenopausal women.

This paper considers fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva as a segmental progeroid syndrome, which may help uncover mechanisms of normal aging and suggest targets for new treatments.

This report suggests a causal connection between hyaluronic acid filler injections and the development of xanthelasma, possibly through an inflammatory reaction that increases vascular permeability and LDL leakage.

This case report identifies an adolescent with symptoms indicative of Dunnigan-type partial lipodystrophy, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis to manage associated metabolic complications and improve self-esteem.

This study presents a validated questionnaire, the FFA-QLI, which effectively assesses and differentiates the quality of life impact among patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, showing greater sensitivity in identifying severe cases than the DLQI.

This case report suggests that identifying hyperpigmentation on the upper eyelid with specific dermoscopy patterns could help diagnose facial lichen planus pigmentosus without needing a facial biopsy.

This study observed that repeated hair follicle sampling is feasible and reliable for measuring FMR1 mRNA and FMRP in individuals with Fragile X syndrome, supporting its use in longitudinal studies.

This study found that repeatedly collecting hair follicles from individuals with fragile X syndrome is feasible for measuring FMR1 and FMRP levels in both home and office settings.

This review discusses the non-follicular skin manifestations of frontal fibrosing alopecia and how they affect diagnosis and treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the clinical and trichoscopic features of lichen planopilaris and notes its potential underdiagnosis prior to hair transplant, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that female pattern hair loss was present in 12.5% of PCOS patients examined, with most cases in younger women, highlighting early detection and management importance.

This review discusses the various factors implicated in the etiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia and notes the need for effective treatments, reporting no new clinical findings.

Isotretinoin at low doses effectively treats facial papules in frontal fibrosing alopecia.

In this study, FLI was significantly higher in women with PCOS and NAFLD compared to those without NAFLD, and an FLI < 30 could not effectively rule out NAFLD in lean PCOS patients.

This review discusses hair transplant techniques for female pattern hair loss and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the benefits of transplants combined with various treatments for improved hair density and styling options.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking down the LPA 4 receptor in zebrafish embryos led to vascular and lymph vessel development abnormalities, including edema and decreased heartbeats.

This study found that hair transplantation is feasible in patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, but outcomes are generally less favorable compared to other causes and these diseases may also develop after the procedure.

This study reported that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women and identified potential risk factors like frequent β-blocker use and sunscreen application, indicating the need for further research.

This study reviewed 18 postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss, often treated with steroids, triamcinolone, and other medications.

In this study, the researchers reported that early diagnosis and treatment of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may arrest or potentially reverse disease progression, though some patients experienced continued hair loss.
